While I ate my food, my mind couldn't stop going back to the fact that Carter was here in this city, and from tomorrow we will have to be working together.It's really a hard thing to believe, and I really don't know what to think at the moment. I sighed softly, as I stopped eating. "Macey what's wrong why aren't you eating?" Anna asked me, as I finally turned over to face her."Anna, everything is wrong, I still can't believe that Carter is here, and we will be working together starting tomorrow. It is so hard for me." I finally spoke my mind to her and how much I don't want to work with him."Macey I want to ask you a question, and try to be honest with me." She said, and I focused my glances on her, and also signed her to go ahead with her questions."Macey, I'm your friend and please I really need you to tell me the truth, do you still love Carter?" She asked me, making me gasped, but I quickly composed myself."Hell no, why would I do something like that, I'm already over him, an
I reached for my cell phone reluctantly, and once I took it, quickly answered it, and placed it on my ear."Hello babe, how was your flight? Hope it was good? How was the business meeting?" She asked so many questions without giving me the opportunity to respond to one first before going to another. I frowned immediately, everything about her annoys me so much, and I really don't know why.Was it just because she lied to me, or because she drugged me that night and made me yell at Macey accusing her of drugging me.I really don't understand why I'm so annoying whenever it comes to Charlotte. "Hello, babe are you still there?" She jerked me back to reality with her questions. Honestly I have totally forgotten that I was still on call with her before."Yes, I'm here with you." I finally responded, and she asked me why I wasn't saying anything before."I was actually thinking of which of your questions to answer, because they were just too much at the time." I lied, while taking up my gl
I faced her fully, hoping she would say anything, but she didn't so I continued. "I might have some questions that I would like to ask you as we work, so I don't think I would like to be screaming on top of my voice so you could hear me, so I will rather stay closer to you here." I told her, as she just opened her mouth to say something, but nothing was coming forth.After waiting for her to speak up for sometime but didn't hear her say anything, I just decided to be calm. "I don't want you here Carter, so please go over to your desk, besides you know we both don't have a good history together." She finally spoke up, after all the while, and I had to sighed softly."It's bad enough that the board members made us work together, but I'm not going to allow you to dictate where you want to sit and work for me, so just get your ass up and move to your desk." She half yelled, and honestly I could see her rage shooting through her veins.I felt like acting stubborn, but I figured out that it
I was still in the mood for a little rest, when he called me. At first I tried to ignore him, but he kept calling until I realised I didn't have any other choice and to respond to his calls."Why are you so bent on making sure I have no peace, what did I ever do to you?" I asked him, while standing closer to him now, honestly I was finding it hard to keep up with him."Come on Macey, you know I'm not doing anything wrong, we are partners here, and we ought to work together, and not the other way round." He spoke in the calmest voice ever, that It bit my imagination realising it was no one else but Carter talking.The Carter I know would never be calm this way, so how come he just totally changed from the man I used to know to something else."Come on Carter you can stop pretending, no one is here with us, so there is no need for you to act like you are a gentle guy, because I know you are not." I told him off, as I finally snatched the files away from him, and tried to check it out."
Anna walked back into the sitting room all dressed up. "Where are you heading?" I asked her, not being able to stop myself."Like I said, it's a secret, you will find out when I get back, so just relax back here, I will be back soon trust me." She said, and grabbed my car keys."But Anna,do you think it a good idea to Leave me all alone in the house? Don't you think I would be too bored, considering how I am feeling right now?" I asked her, hoping it would do the magic of making her stay back or probably making her allow me tag along, because I really don't want to stay with her all alone. It's really not advisable to me right now. "Oh that's true, I never really thought of that." She sighed softly while biting on her figure."You know what, go ahead and get dressed, let's go out together, maybe you might feel a little better once we are out." She said, and I smiled immediately, as I tried to make my way out of the sitting room."No stop, I won't go out anymore, let's just stay toget
I sighed softly, and left the kitchen as I went to have my food. I know Anna must really be upset right now, and it wasn't really right for me to yell at her that way. I thought as I tried to hurry up with my foodI finally stood up afterwards, and got ready to leave, and once I arrived at Anna's house. I knocked while she just came to open the door almost immediately like she has been expecting me."Anna, I'm really so sorry for the way I spoke to you, I really shouldn't have, and I know you were only trying to look out for me, believe me, I really appreciate it." I told her, while placing my hand in my chest."It's okay, I totally understand you, and I shouldn't have made you leave the house anyway before if I haven't we won't have gotten into that kind of a situation." She said, but I told her, she had done the right thing, because I really needed to go out of the house for a while to cool off."Even if you needed to go out of the house, you really don't need to go to a club, besid
Chapter 35Once I was done, I walked back into my Suite, and got dressed, before placing a call across to the attendance placing order for food, which was brought to me almost immediately.After eating, I climbed into my bed, but couldn't sleep as my mind was still very much clouded with the thought of Macey. I really couldn't believe what was happening. Or why I couldn't stand up to her and just tell her what I feel I really needed to tell her.I could still remember how she would always cry like a baby whenever I or mum did something to her. But now she is really a high standards lady, who doesn't give a fuck about me anymore.I really neglected her feelings back then, and it's really so hard for me to stand up to her and tell her mine, because she might want to pay me back for all I have done to her.I thought and sighed softly while I shut my eyes, and turned over to another direction on my bed. "What would she be doing right now?" I asked no one in particular, as I remained on my
Chapter 36"Anna I'm sorry, but I can't sit up, I promise to make it up to you in the morning." I managed to say, as I could feel my eyes slowly closing."You are just so lazy sometimes." She said, and stormed off and honestly I felt really good that she had gone away.Once it was morning, I got dressed, and so was Anna and after breakfast we left for the office. I thought of going over to Anna's office too like the previous day, but I figured out that would make me look weak before him, so I quickly decided against it, and waved at Anna before making my way to my office."So this is it," I took a deep breath, as I made to grab the doorknob and somehow my heart was pounding, and I felt so nervous too, but why?After staying there for a while, I finally decided within myself to step in, which I did without thinking twice."You are finally here today, I'm so happy." He smiled, and I frowned and just ignored him, and went straight to my seat."Here check this out." He stretched out some
Macey's father was already bleeding so badly, from the place he was shot, and I wished I could help him up the spot, but there was no way, because we were still in a deep battle, and we just started doing that now."Sir, go in, and try to attend to your wound, I will handle them." I finally spoke up, hoping he would listen and just go in."No, there are too many for you to handle, I can't let anything happen to you, I know my daughter cares so much about you, besides you were still injured yesterday, so let me stay here and help you out." He said stubborn, and I sighed softly."You are losing too much blood, please go and attend to your wound, if Macey loses you, she would never be happy again, besides she has been away from here, she just came to see you this morning, after so long. Please sir, listen to me and do this for your daughter." I pleaded, and he took a deep breath, and mouthed 'okay,' casually before leaving me there.I continued shooting at them, until I killed all the gu
We went straight to the table, and I took an excuse before finally leaving the party. At least I have shown myself there already, so I really don't want to stay until the party comes to an end.I walked into my house with Anna behind me. "Come on Macey you really didn't have to leave the party so early, besides I haven't even enjoyed the party yet." She frowned once we were finally in."I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I really needed to be home early, remember I have a flight to catch in the morning." I told her, as I had my seat on the couch, while I bent to take off my shoes."Even at that, we should have stayed there a little longer at least until 11pm before coming home." She said, and I widened my eyes in disbelief."Come on Anna you can't be serious, are you?" I asked her, as I finally tried to compose myself."I'm very serious Macey, you and I know how much I love parties, and we had the opportunity to attend one today, but you didn't even let us stay." I sighed softly
I wasn't too comfortable with the fact that I took the call from an unknown contact, but I just tried to be confident and placed the phone on my ear."Hello ma'am Macey, it's me Peter, your father's guard." He spoke up immediately and I answered the call, and I just sighed in relief realising it was something I knew."Oh Peter, what can I do for you, hope all is well, and daddy is doing just fine?" I asked immediately, still trying to figure out why he was calling me, because from what I know, he has never called me before, since I started using this contact, so why was he called me then."Your father is not fine, he is so sick, and he said he wants to see you, before he dies." He told me, and immediately I couldn't feel my heart spanking."What!!!" I exclaimed, as hot tears clouded my eyes immediately."Yes Miss Macey, you have to consider coming home soon, so you would get to see him one last time before he finally dies." He advised me, and I totally hate the fact that he said that,
I guess I made a horrible mistake for taking the call without checking the caller ID first. "Mum, I told you already, that I don't want her here, because I am too busy to attend to her, and I told you that I won't go to see her even if she decides to come here, so stop bothering me about her." I told her off, and disengaged the call.I know she would be shocked, but I don't care. From now on, I don't really care about her, all I care about is no one else but Macey.So until I get back into my life, nothing else matters, and no one else matters too, so I don't need to get myself all worked up because of my mum.She can get angry at me, but I really don't care. To me it doesn't really matter now.I thought and sighed softly, as I continued walking out, but my phone kept ringing, knowing fully well that it was my mum, I just ignored the call, and proceeded into my car, and drove off immediately.I sat comfortably as I placed my order, but just then my eyes went to Macey and Anna walking
MACEY'S POVIt was another weekend again, and honestly, I was really grateful. Since the incident of Carter kissing me in the office, I had been away from the office.I stayed home for two days, and I only just went to the office yesterday which happened to be on Friday. I really can't believe Carter has the nerve to kiss me, despite what he had done to me before now.But somehow I'm still very surprised that he actually kissed me, Because for the three whole years I was married to him, he never for once kissed me. So why would he just kiss me now out of the blues.Was he really trying to play with my feelings or what? or does he know that I still have feelings for him, and he has plans to take advantage of that fact? So many questions popped into my head, and honestly I wished I could get an answer to them all.I stood up reluctantly from my bed, as I was still laying down. When I woke up this morning, my head was just filled with different thoughts, and I didn't see
